Better Than You

At a table for two

With a romantic view

He said there's something

That you need to know

I don't usually date

So if I hesitate

It's just that I'm taking it slow

He said, "Darling I don't want to hurt you,"

As he gently reached out for her hand

She laughed, she picked up her menu

And said mister you don't understand

I've been loved, I've been left

I've been wronged by the best

I've had hopes that were shattered in two

I've heard promises spoken

I've had dreams left so broken

There was no chance they'd ever come true

It ain't easy to see

By looking at me

But there's no hell I haven't walked through

If you're worried that's fine

But this heart of mine's

Been broken by better than you

When dinner was done

She said I had fun

As they walked to her door he smiled

He said, "It's only 10 could I come in?

Maybe we could just talk for awhile."

She said, "Honey I know what you're after,

and as much as I'd like you to stay,

nothing good ever lasted

when it gets started that way."

I've been loved, I've been left,

I've been wronged by the best

I've had hopes that were shattered in two

I've heard promises spoken

I've had dreams left so broken

There was no chance they'd ever come true

It ain't easy to see

But take it from me

There's no hell I haven't walked through

And I wont cross that line

'Cause this heart of mine's

Been broken by better than you

No I won't cross that line,

'Cause this heart of mine's

Been broken by better than you
